Tree Challenge

The Tree Challenge is a program sponsored by the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden and
PlantPlaces.com. The Tree Challenge is to bring awareness to the value of trees in our home
landscapes, our schools, our businesses and our communities.

Locate possible tree planting opportunities on your property. Research what types
and sizes you could plant.

Plant trees!

The goal of the tree challenge is to help educate our community on what types of trees we
have on our property. To look at trees as the valuable resource they are in sequestering
carbon, cooling the environment, storm water mitigation, providing the oxygen we
breathe, creating habitats for wildlife, and providing beauty in our landscapes. Planting
a tree could be the easiest way everyone in our community can help our environment.
Through planting a wide diversity of trees and planting trees that will shade our
grandchildren we can improve our communities one tree at a time. Join the Tree
Challenge!
